Joseph,

the one thing I miss frequently in your tool as well as other mapping solutinos is the ability to quickly sketch a route/track on a topo. Online, you sometimes want to show a certain route that you don't have a GPS track for, but could easily draw on a topo map to illustrate what you have in mind. Sometimes I have gaps in GPS tracks that I could easily fill with a little manual skteching, but it is rather complex to get a line onto any of these maps. Waypoints is easy, but tracks, especially tracks that connect to existing GPS data, are much harder to create from scratch.

Maybe there's more complexity to this than I can see as a user, though.
